The lamp came well packed in a two layer box and an inner layer of a complete lidded box of polystyrene. Open one end tip out carefully, do the same again with the next box and out pops a polystyrene "coffin" Take the lid off and remove the well packed lamp. I would describe the colour as closer to mushroom than beige but within the range of acceptability it passes.Others describe the threads suggesting that earlier lamps screwed together. Mine supplied in April 2016 comprised of two D sections of tube, one with a flat cable/connectors threaded through from the already affixed lamp head. The cable is threaded through the second section and the two sections gently pushed together until two small screw holes align.

For about the past two years a Lifemax 27W Desktop Reading Lamp has been in regular use. The illumination it provides is flicker-free and very bright, far brighter than any other reading lamp ever used and regardless of the actual light source (CFL, halogen etc) in any instance. The bulb is fluorescent but operates at a higher frequency than normal so that any flicker is effectively eliminated. A taller floor-standing version was then considered by deemed unsuitable for personal needs. However, one has now been purchased as a gift for someone who needs better illumination when reading.This is a 24W version of the earlier 27W but is still said to be the equivalent of 150W tungstem illumination

This is the second Lifemax High Vision floor standing lamp we have bought - this one is a slightly updated model (it has a heavier base and rectangular section neck which differs from the earlier model). We have sited both of these lamps in our living room at either end of the sofa so that we can read under them. The reach of the lamp is sufficient to reach over the back of our medium back settee and illuminate our reading material.The lamp arrives well packed with minimal self assemlby of the stand required - I do not share the view expressed in certain reviews that this is fiddly or difficult - you just have to avoid pinching the power cord in the process.

I was looking for a "natural" reading light and came across this particular lamp on the web.As always, I read with interest many reviews that all virtually agreed on the same points:-1. The product performance when assembled was very good2. The materials used had a quality feel to them.3. When assembled, was sturdy, solid and performed very well.The negatives I found came in various forms with tips about the assembling of the unit when you first unwrap it. I would agree with most of the negative assembly comments having bought two and assembled the first which I am using to write this review.It is a really good purchase,

Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. . . .I bought one of these lights for my dad as he has very poor vision and struggles to read even with a magnifying glass. He was advised by his consultant to purchase this type of light. I had a look on here and thought I'd give it a go. . . .Looking at the review stats as I write -5+4 stars = 2113, 2+1 stars = 39Not too shabby!The light came well packaged indeed. 'If' the recipient is that poorly sighted, definitely get someone to unpack this and put it together. It's a tad fiddly. Two people is best.Once unpacked, you've got the light and two pole pieces and the base. The wiring from the light runs through the poles to the base.

Very pleased with this lamp. The height is just right whilst sitting. It was very simple to put together (by my husband whom I'd warned that it may not be easy after reading previous reviews). I can move it from room to room quite easily for different tasks and the lighting is very natural. My only regret is buying this from Amazon who used the most useless, incompetent carriers I've ever come across. Yodel apparently have been mentioned on Watchdog and Martin Lewis' MSE as the worst carriers. They actually pulled up outside our house one afternoon, waited a few seconds and then drove off. I thought nothing of it until the lamp still hadn't arrived a few days later.

I don't know what all the fuss is about - I had no problem assembling this lamp. Perhaps the design has improved. Yes, you do have to take a bit of care not to cross-thread the tube sections as it is quite a fine thread but I had no need of lubricant. Bear in mind the old maxim, if you need lubricant you're doing it wrong!In fact, I've assembled two lamps as the first one was faulty. The first lamp came on for a couple of seconds then there was a pop sound from the base and that was it. It was a bit of a hassle to disassemble and repackage properly but at least Amazon organised a replacement promptly and collected the faulty lamp at their expense.The lamp is nice and bright with a much better white balance that you'd get with a halogen bulb,

I bought this because I wanted a decent light to read by without straining my eyes and this certainly fits the bill.Its combination of brightness and natural coloured light makes it feel like reading in daylight. It's also great for doing things that can be challenging for those whose eyesight is not perfect - like threading a needle or reading very tiny print. The switch is easy to find and operate and the top bit with the fluorescent tube can be moved into just about any position you could possibly want. So why not 5 stars? Firstly, assembly although basically straightforward involves pushing excess length of wires - which are quite stiff - back into the tube and this is not the easiest task

Amazing speed of delivery by Blue Fish Ltd. (Thanks to them for their efficiency.) It arrived in under two days from ordering. I was notified before delivery of the name of the delivery driver and time of arrival between two times within the hour. Goods were really well packed in a cardboard box containing manufacturers original box in factory condition. Assembly was very easy & straightforward provided great care was taken when screwing the two poles together. An application of Vaseline makes things easier. The only difficulty I found was when the clear instruction sheet did not say where the last and vital screw was located in the packaging. I found it eventually in a small bag stuck to one of the many transit bags - not easy to find.

Bought this for my mother-in-law who has macular degeneration, but was still bravely (and not very successfully) trying to knit jumpers under the light of a 60w incandescent spotlight.Assembly was OK having read the other reviews that point out the problems. I would add that when you are screwing the sections together, if possible rotate the part that the wire is not attached to otherwise the wire gets very twisted; for example when screwing the top flexible neck to the first pole twist the pole, not the neck. The next joint is a bayonet so that is easier once you have inserted the wire (here, twisting the wire does help a bit!). The bottom joint was most difficult,

Fairly easy to assemble, although it is best to have two people to do it. It isn't quite as tall as the earlier version but is much less top heavy since the relatively heavy electrical ballast is in the the base rather than at the top of the stand. The switch is easily accessible next to the tube assembly and the tube itself is still the same daylight CFL as before and is relatively expensive to replace. Another niggle is that despite the many warnings in the instruction book about not over-tightening screws, one of the ones that had been inserted at the factory had already had its thread stripped and fell out! To sum up, it gives a good high intensity simulated daylight, which is excellent for reading but,

I bought this reading lamp (note - it is not meant to be a standard lamp and is therefore an ideal and adjustable size for reading etc) on a recommendation in my weekly magazine and because it seemed to be what I needed for those cosy nights in for winter reading. It was also available as an Amazon warehouse deal at a good saving. The previous reviews were also largely positive.It arrived, in original packaging, next day (with Prime membership), in spite of over a foot of snow and is 'as new'. It was easy to assemble using a little care and common sense (the most important thing is to ensure the screw threads are not 'crossed',

The lamp arrived the morning after I ordered it on line the night before! The packaging was first rate, a tight fitting twin layed carboard sleave over a thick cardboard display box, with the product held tightly in a moulded polystyrene packaging system. Very easy to assemble with two screws to lock the stand and lamp to the up right pole. The base of the lamp is very well weighted, so its difficult to accidentaly knock the lamp over. It has a well applied ivory coloured poder coating and overall it looks like a quality product and feals like a quality product. It has already made a great difference to seeing my work pieces, books and computor screen. The lamp does look a little clinical,

I was initially very pleased with the product. It was robust and relatively simple to assemble. I bore in mind, from other individuals' reviews, how easy it might be to cross thread the column, and I succeeded! The light is brilliant for the purposes of reading and the flexibility of the lamp head allows one to adjust its position to read without annoying persons sitting near by. Whoops! I discarded the packaging, and then within a couple of days I became aware of an irritating fault. When switched off, although still plugged in, it would intermittently flicker; the cure - to unplug it. It's obviously a fault with this specific lamp and not a general one. Remember to retain the original packaging.

works very well - no problems with assembly - but needs a strong wrist and a good screwdrivern However on the 10th January 2017 Ihave to complain that the Gooseneck fitting literally fell off the main shaft to day . On examining this I found that a welded piece of metal which contains the hole for the locking screw had parted company with the two prongs which conect to the main shaft ! Needless to say this has rendered the whole lamp inoperable and is now in pieces on the lounge floor. This is a pity as this lamp was a huge help to my disabled wife. I am 80 years old and I feel let down by the short term useage.Would you kindly help me to solve my problemChristopher C White38,
